This is
2007. Women have a very different social status from our mothers'. I
do not understand why Pease (the authors) keep advising the women
what to be aware and do. Isn't misunderstanding a mutual thing? So
shouldn't it take two to tango? There's advices for men, but
it's like 20% (at most) for men and there's always advices for women.
The question is: Is it worth comprimising (tolerating all
the peeves) in order to stay with a
man (or be loved if you're lucky enough) ? Look, we didn't make all
these problems. ... Yes, there's some funny jokes and theories. I did
finish the book except the last few pages about reitrement. If you're
someone's wife, there's no retirement. Don't even think about it.
Like the mum-in-law section: You think you don't give a damn to what
others think about your relationship? Ha. Before you know, impact is
already in effect. There's a lot of re-training to do. And even if
you're convinced, the solutions are designed in a
western-culture-mindset. If you've ever watched toddler's training in
Discovery Channel, you'll understand it won't work on most asians.
Each individual is different, anyway.
After
all, it's a matter of "to be or not to be". I believe only
in one thing -- respect. No matter what you do, do it with respect.
If the other person doesn't, dump him. Fast! (If you think you can
write 300 pages bull-shit around this topic, remember to write my
name on it.)
